A defiant poem that came to me within days of my surgery

Less than one minute read time.

You think you can beat me
Eat me
Take my life from the inside out

You think you can break me
Make me
Give it all up no doubt

Let me tell you
You rotten cancer
You can't
You won't
I will not allow your festering decay

I will beat you
Defeat you
I will smile as you fade away

You came uninvited

Invaded where you were not wanted
Consider yourself
CONFRONTED

You cowardly scum
You sickening scab
You're presence is in violation
I'm done with you now
I'll show you how
To get rid of your infiltration

OVER AND OUT

Very good! Did that just come out in a single reaction or is it a work of art crafted over a few days or weeks?!

Surprisingly, I awoke at around 3am with an angry rapper in my head so i hurriedly typed it into my phone! I did more in the days afterwards and have mellowed since

The day of my op
Now history
The day they removed
The source of the mystery
The thing inside me
That was causing me strife
The hideous thing
That may have ended my life
Now the thing has gone
The future is bright
At the end of the tunnel
There's light
The recovery
(Though not without pain)
Is going well
And so much to gain
Each day strength returns
The wounds heal a bit more

Each day my bum
Is a little less sore
Each day I sit
A little more easy
A little less tired
A lot less queasy
